Magnesium and Mineral Pool Filters Compared to Enviroswim in Sydney

A growing trend has been to move away from chlorinated pool cleaners and into alternative methods of swimming pool filtration. An attractive alternative has been the Magnesium pool filter system, also known as a Mineral pool filter system. There’s a lot of speculation about whether or not this new system has increased benefits, but we'll take a look at some of the claims associated with Magnesium pool filter systems in Sydney and across the world. One of the real benefits of the mineral springs systems comes from its ease of maintenance compared to chlorine pools and typical salt filtered pool systems. Beyond that many of the claims made about unique technology or creating a special type of magnesium based chlorine are often snake oil meant to glamorise the filtration system and convince customers that they need a full filter replacement.

Magnesium pool filters aren't cleaner than well-designed salt systems

The main benefit of a mineral pool filter system is the fact that you can just dump minerals into the pool on a weekly basis to keep the pool maintained and relative to other systems the cost balances out with much less effort. A popular selling point attached to mineral pool filter systems in Sydney is that they're made with a silicon dioxide filter. Silicon dioxide is another name for silica which is a scientific name for sand. In essence, they're selling a sand based filtration system that is similar in performance to the conventional sand filters a lot of people have currently.

Another big claim that's often made by these companies is that there's a unique component in the filtration system that uses potassium chloride and magnesium chloride to create what's called "non-synthetic chlorine". This is a misnomer because chlorine is chlorine, regardless of what state it's in or how it's made. In essence, these mineral systems require less maintenance, but because they rely on potassium chloride, they are similar to any chlorine chemical. It just happens that potassium chloride tends to cost a lot more than sodium chloride, so you don't truly reduce the annual costs associated with your pool.

Before you buy a mineral filter system in Sydney, consider the Enviroswim

A system that uses three processes; electronic oxidising, ionisation and ultrasonics. The average cost of running the Enviroswim is about $695 including the only replacement part which is the copper and silver diodes that need replacement every two years. Furthermore, one of the primary reasons people try to switch from chlorine to alternative systems is to get away from the abrasiveness of such harsh chemicals. While Enviroswim is not chlorine neutral, it's process means that the level of chlorine present in an Enviroswim pool is a fraction of the chlorine levels in a manually maintained pool. Finally, the Enviroswim is a fully automatic system requiring minimal maintenance. Being more energy efficient and only requiring four hours of use it not only saves you money on your power bill but it saves you time as well.
